Heya Nobbie.
re: nodes.
>It's a bit difficult to explain the power of that concept - best would be to download the new Maya 5 PLE on October 15, and work through the introductory tutorials
Heh yeah, talking about graphics is like dancing about architecture, to butcher a phrase I heard in art school. ;) But you're right, there's no substitute for actual practice. Thanks for the info though.
>..Maya 5 PLE for Linux is free, this seems to be the natural solution, because you save oodles of money in educating and training artists this way.
Honestly, I think stuff like this should be done more often. Some of the price for "student versions" programs is still too high for most real students, imo.
